work/uni/school that he just wishes to share with the community... Plz help
me out on this one.
What I generally do is search for snippets of the text on Google or Altavista.
Generally, finding the source is easy whenever there has been plagiarism.
Also, usually the source will make it self-evident whether reuse is permissible.
